I worked on a few things this week, but what I specifically wanted to show off was a few magic/ability updates.
First I've changed some effects and spells for air magic, making the boomerang look more like wind, and making the blast of air be a more direct blast.
I'm not removing the freezing powers, but I will be making them their own magic power. I really li...

I did do some model work, though.
I also worked a bit on decals on skinned meshes. This is so Merdiana can get dirty and... other stuff. It worked fairly well, I just need to figure out how to save the dirt, mud, and other fluids between level insta...

If you're a Dad, I hope you have a great day!
This week I worked on the few things I wanted player opinions to give feedback on in the next build.
I filled in and rearranged some of the attack abilities. I want the spells to be pretty bombastic, so the ones that I don't feel are up to it, I'm going to try to adjust a bit...

As you can see from the video, I spent some time this week trying to finish doing some streamlining of the magic attacks. I never quite liked having to select which magic to use, and have been looking for a way to give you access to more magic more easily.
I've made it so one button does both an attack from holding the button, and tapping the button.
I've also mapped di...

I focused on some animation work this week. I think I've got all the washing animations done, except maybe an idle.
I'm pretty happy how soft I was able to make this one look. Turned out fairly well I think.
I'll likely set this up kinda how RDR2 has it, which has you choosing which body parts to wash, and once you've washed them all, then its done.

I spent some time this week working on a few levels.
I've got a layout started on the town level and surrounding area. I plan for this area to not only be the town, but also the access point for a few other levels, as well as some things for the player to explore. Like I've previously mentioned, I don't plan on making the area gigantic or even into a true "open world", b...

Had to take care of some out of office stuff this week, so didn't get as much done as I'd like.
I did continue to work on the sleep animations, and environment stuff.
I also had a bit of a revelation via the spell casting stuff, and have some ideas I want to test a bit. No big departure from what we have, but some good changes I think.

Spent some time this week working on streamlining and fixing some issues with the complicated spell casting system. I'm trying to add the ability to have spell cooldowns, as well as some sort of system to tell you in realtime how much magic you use(which we already have) but also what spells you can cast based on your current input. I like to revisit this every so often and make sur...

Besides working on some animations and models this week, I also started to put together the rig for the male figure.
The idea is that the various humanoid enemies will all have be able to be skinned to this same skeleton, and use the same animations.
As always I've been experimenting with different skeletal setups, to try to get good deformation without a lot of headaches. I've c...
2022-04-24 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to reduce some burnout I've been feeling, I took a little more time this week to explore Unreal Engine 5. I still did some animation and modeling work, but I needed something a bit different to focus on for a bit.
I have a lot of other really simple game ideas, so its been a nice change of pace to prototype the basics of them out to see how they actually feel. I don't...

I've continued to work on animations and new character models this week, nothing super exciting as far as far as progress goes.

While I was finishing up getting the animations for the Fish Troll dude done, I found a blood FX kit that was very customizable, and I did some tests that I think turned out fairly well.
It definitely needs adjustments, but it will supplement the more intensive stuff that I'm 3d modeling and animating with vertex textures.
I really love my vertex animated stuff, but its dif...
Was able to get almost all the animations for fish/troll dudes done, and have them running around in engine.
There are a few small things to get done,(I never did a ending for their threesome animation for some reason), but other wise I can have them back in game.
The other fish guys are still going in too, even the world of fish men has different factions!

Gonna keep it super short.
Had some stuff take me out of office for a few days, so didn't have a full week.
But what time I did have I worked on getting animations for this dude done, so I can bring him back in.
I managed to get most of his animations updated, so he'll likely end up being the first of additional enemies added in.
That's it, nothing super exciting. &...

I finished a new "interaction" animation between Meridiana and the hobgoblin. Its now set up so that either animation can play, it will choose one at random. I still want to create some new particle effects for it, but the animation itself I think looks pretty good.

I'm a bit tired as I write this so I apologize if it seems a bit disjointed or confused.
I took a bit of time this week to focus on a few new assets. For the dungeon area I've built flame thrower traps, so that's another obstacle to overcome.
I've also started to rebuild a new male generic human. I'm gonna use this guy with different costumes...

This week was a pretty fruitful and I got a lot done!
I spent a lot of time developing rooms for this level section, and I've gotten into a rhythm with creating them, as long as I have ideas. Since they're so interchangeable, I'm throwing a lot of stuff at the wall, and if something doesn't stick, its very easy to just delete it.
I did get caught up in a lot of bug fixes...

Really got some work done trying to make various rooms for a dungeon area in the cave level.
